Paris Grey Report

It's been non-stop rain here in New York for about 3 days... It rained every single day I was in Paris - OK it drizzled, which is different than a New York downpour. I did not take an umbrella with me either. I did wear a raincoat non-stop... My dream house is this tiny grey guard house outside the Musee de Sevres... The windows were again full of grey/gris this Fall.... Toute en gris... A giant grey scarf... Smile! I use my copious scarf to hide my camera not reveal it. Karl Lagerfeld came out with this charcole grey perfume called KAPSULE in a square bottle...Hmmm All food was grey before color printing came along... Real grey-colored food. I still don't know what flavor macarons these are but does it matter? So that's the Grey report from Paris.BON WEEK-END!

I am having a thing with gray this season. Everything I have to wear has lots of gray in it or IS gray. seems to fit the weather. Good to see I am in with Paris. :))Have always loved the Rainy day painting you posted by C. I can never spell his name. :)Also ove the painting.

Those grey macarons are interesting! It was not only grey but a deluge of torrential rain yesterday here. Today, I had to head to work, and thankfully it was clear and sunny out. Hope your weekend is the same. Have a macaron for me, toots. Lovely images! Even grey, Paris is magnifique.

I luckily stumbled upon your blog recently. I love it. It brings back memories of my first and only trip to Paris in the summer of 2007. I decided that spring that I needed to go to Paris and went by myself I have never done that before. I stayed in St. Germain at the Hotel Luttetia. It was the best trip of my life. I relieve my visit with your beautiful paintings and descriptions. Thank youDorry

I, too LOVE the guard house - it's second only to a garden shed I spotted on a garden tour nearby. Do you think they'd notice if I moved in? Well, maybe not till spring.I've had my fill of gray - not one ray of sun all weekend :-(

Although my days here are a winter grey..and very blah..I love all the grey that you show today! Since allowing my own grey locks to show up I have been wearing grey everything!Perhaps another shopping trip to Paris is needed here!
